New member currently driving a 1st generation Tundra that has spoiled me on reliability. But I'm wanting a bigger truck and don't care for the look and feel of 2nd and 3rd gen Tundras. I was always a Mopar guy growing up and love what I'm seeing in 4th gen Rams so that's what I'm targeting.
My towing needs are so limited that I don't need a diesel so pretty much set on the 6.4 2500 and will be buying used 2015-2018 range. I know the 2019 got the 8-speed transmissions and those are better than the 6-speed but I'm trying to keep it under $35K and that seems unlikely for 2019+.
Probably looking at a Laramie, maybe Big Horn and wouldn't mind a Power Wagon. I know they're thirsty but that doesn't phase me at all for my needs.
The Rambox cargo system is really impressive but that means no shell on the back and that's a deal killer for me unfortunately.
Anyway, I'll be reading/searching a lot here and trying to get comfortable with the idea of the 6-speed and will run a few candidates by you guys as I get closer.
